Following this: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started.html , I've created an empty project and am trying to run it by doing: sudo react-native run-android This is what is produced:

Starting JS server...
Building and installing the app on the device (cd android && ./gradlew installDebug...
Downloading https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.4-all.zip

Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: 

sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: 

sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target

(I can post the rest of the error if that would be useful). Does anyone have any advice?

Change the distribution url in:

android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

from https to http.

Using the following steps i resolved the error :

  1. Open build.gradle (node-modules/react-native/ReactAndroid)

  2. Change src path of task downloadBoost with http://mirror.nienbo.com/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.zip

    task downloadBoost(dependsOn: createNativeDepsDirectories, type: Download) {
    // Use ZIP version as it's faster this way to selectively extract some parts of the archive
    //src 'https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.zip'
    // change
    src 'http://mirror.nienbo.com/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.zip'
    onlyIfNewer true
    overwrite false
    dest new File(downloadsDir, 'boost_1_57_0.zip')
}

  3. Perform Gradle Sync

    Tools -> Android -> Sync Project with Gradle Files

Chang the distribution url in /android/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties from https to http and also change the gradle version from 5.4 to 5.5
